Alan Curbishley and his Charlton side won many admirers after theirDivision One title glory gained them promotion back to theFA Premier League at the first time of asking. This time he kept them there with an excellent ninth-place finish and 52 points. They would have finished higher still - and possibly qualified for Europe - had their defence not been the leakiest of any in the top 15 and the sixth leakiest in the division. Still, it was a superb achievement for a side who had been among the favourites of many punters to suffer an immediate return to theNationwide League. The arrival of strikerJason Euell fromWimbledon in a club record deal gave fans hope of more success in 2001–02.[1]
